I grew up in KCK! Specifically in Wyandotte county, right next to The Legends! I know it's outside KC, but what do you think of Lawrence KS?

[@movingtokc]

I love Lawrence! It’s not too far from the metro and has a great vibe!

[@tantanthespaceman1923]

@@movingtokc I'll be moving there for an internship towards the end of summer for a college internship! After the internship, if we're closer to getting a house, we will give you a call!

[@movingtokc]

Awesome!

[@kc2dc444]

It's amazing how much Riverside has changed recently. It used to be sort of an armpit of a suburb, but it's really changed its image.

[@movingtokc]

It sure has! Thanks for watching!

[@jackdetweiler3442]

Like to see the goings on around kc keep the content coming 👍

[@movingtokc]

Will do! Thanks for watching.

[@westleyanson]

Kyle…Let me tell you something…STOP! Stop letting the secrets out of KC! We don’t want to become the next Portland, Austin, Asheville NC, etc…Gotta keep KC on the DL😎

[@movingtokc]

I don’t think we’ll ever become like those cities. We’re growing at a healthy rate 🫣

[@adriankennedy2492]

Hahaha fa REAL. Trying to buy our next project, this guy over here telling everyone our secrets!😂😂

SERIOUSLY!!! quit moving people into our hoods too!!!!

[@lakittawoods7457]

You won’t

[@ahmadnelson8452]

Nice content Kyle. Surprised Beacon Hill didnt make the list.

[@movingtokc]

Love Beacon Hill! I don’t consider it an up and coming neighborhood though. However, this is completely subjective. Thanks for watching!

[@movingtokc]

Out of curiosity, how did you come across this video? @ahmadnelson8452

[@ahmadnelson8452]

@@movingtokc it showed up on my Google News page.

[@ashleyharris3720]

Lone Jack/Greenwood, MO is 5-10 min south of Lee’s Summit, MO and growing SO fast.

[@kyleboehr6841]

What are your thoughts about Shawnee. It's huge, but they are doing a lot of work to support local businesses in their downtown district and create family friendly options without being Leawood.

[@PurpleHippoCinema]

Still blows my mind that De Soto is getting this level of growth, really hope they can capitalize on it

[@movingtokc]

It’s going to be interesting to see how they navigate the next 5-10 years.

[@alexanderjones5333]

That first pic of Carney is actually a pic of Kearney St in springfield. It is not a great street.

[@teppens71]

The company I work for is going to build the fence for Panasonic and it's going to take 26 weeks just to set the posts

[@p.m4874]

What do u think about Parkville Mo?

[@movingtokc]

I talk about Parkville in my most recent video!

[@p.m4874]

@@movingtokc I'll look for it now..Thank you.

[@H2SO4H20]

Thankfully, the presenter left out the real gems of the Kansas City metro area: neighborhoods where extraordinary houses sell by word of mouth without the involvement of real estate agents.

[@movingtokc]

✌🏼

[@bens5859]

@H2SO4H20 That was rude

[@H2SO4H20]

@@bens5859 Tell me why you think my comment was rude. I've lived in multiple communities in the Kansas City metro for over 50 years as an adult. Some of the areas that the presenter of this video proposed would be considered by people who have lived here a long time as the equivalent of being sent to Siberia since they are far from what most people prefer to be near. Unfortunately, people moving to a strange (to them) city often don't have any idea of the best places to live and they are not going to find out from a real estate agent. It really is all about location, location, location. I live in one of the areas where houses almost always sell privately. When I worked in the field on the 2010 U.S. Census after I retired, I found that there were a number of other phenomenal areas here with similar attributes. Some have private streets. Some, like my neighborhood, weren't on mapping services (e.g. Google Maps, Mapquest) prior to the 2010 Census. I've seen sooo many people move to new cities only to find out fairly soon that they had bought houses "on the wrong side of the tracks" which is why so many people who move to new cities move again after only a few years.

[@H2SO4H20]

@@bens5859 Rude? Why? I'm stating facts. Real estate agents represent sellers - not buyers - which is a key fact that many buyers do not fully appreciate. Real estate agents do not show buyers properties that don't generate commission income. Since many of the best local properties are sold without real estate agent involvement, out-of-town buyers are unlikely to find out about them unless they have friends/relatives who already reside here and only if those people are very familiar with the local real estate market.

Keep KC a secret❤

[@Mary.Petrie]

I am a local of twenty years, and most of these older neighborhoods are a hope, skip, and jump away from the hood. The gang violence is real and you can say goodbye to your hubcaps.

[@movingtokc]

Wait. You think Kearney, Overland Park, Lee’s Summit are the hood?

[@Mary.Petrie]

@movingtokc No, but those you know for a fact aren't but any of those downtown neighborhoods, yes, which you are not arguing about? Oh, though I have seen drug bust happen in OP and Kansas City is also one of the largest human trafficking hubs in the country.

[@movingtokc]

It happens everywhere Mary 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Mary.Petrie]

@movingtokc no human trafficking does not and is not something to take lightly

[@kiewies]

​@@Mary.Petrie Just because you're uncomfortable doesn't mean you're in danger. Some people's "dangerous" is another's "uncomfortable".

as someone who lives in pendleton heights it’s pretty but dangerous as hell

[@rebecca7051]

Pendleton Heights is a dangerous area.

[@movingtokc]

Says you 😉 I frequent PH and know many people who live there that would disagree.

[@rebecca7051]

@@movingtokc I should hope so. In the past, some friends of mine have had trouble there when they were renovating a house. I'm glad to hear that it sounds like it's changed.
